The local Salvation Army Red Kettle drive saw an increase in collections over the holiday season.
The collection drive, which took place at Walmart and Kroger in Green River Plaza from Nov. 25 to Christmas Eve, netted about 20 percent more funding than the previous drive, according to local kettle chairman Dan Durham. Durham didn’t release a dollar figure.
Durham said the number of volunteers was also up.
The best day for collections, Durham said, was the day students from Kentucky Christian Academy rang the bell and sang Christmas carols all day.
